This was a trip I booked for my wife and I which in hindsight was a mistake. Don't get me wrong The Grand Palace Hotel is a lovely place to stay and the staff are very welcoming/helpful by Riga standards but I was under the impression that a five star hotel HAD to be fitted with air conditioning? The GPH... more

Decided to 'splash the cash' and go a bit more upmarket for our trip to Riga. The 'Grand Palace' did not let us down - excellent in every way. From the welcome we received on arrival, to ordering the taxi for our departure - the staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. We had a room on the ground floor... more

So as my title suggests, the grand palace hotel INSISTED on called us Mr & Mrs for the weekend. We had checked in under our real names, we had showed them our passports, we had even requested that they stop doing it but when we checked out we were still "married"! So this is definitely not the place for a... more

One of the best hotels we have stayed in. Very comfortable with friendly and professional staff in all areas. Make sure you order from the hot breakfast menu which is included in your price. Some waiters offered it, but on other days it wasn't mentioned. Fresh orange juice offered as well, which was delicious. Bar warm and comforting after a... more

I can really recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Riga, but would like to warn you of two things; We had a Superior room, which had really nice furniture and plenty of space. The hotel staff was really friendly all the time, and room service as well as the restaurants and bars were great. But! The paper-thin walls allowed us... more

Stayed between Friday-Monday, for a forthcoming article on Riga in a magazine. Apart from a noisy Friday Ryanair afternoon flight shared with one or more stag parties (avoid if possible, Air Baltic return on Monday more peaceful), a pleasant weekend. Efficiently met by a car organised in advance with the hotel, a good dinner in the hotel on the first... more

We have just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay at this lovely little hotel. Our decision was very much based on the feedback found in this website and of its recognition as a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. We were not disappointed, room decor, size and facilities were spot on considering we stayed in the standard... more

Lovely hotel, perfectly located in the Old City of Riga. Absolutely no complaints on service, cleanliness, rooms or food. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room, a deluxe one, was gorgeous. more
